I love your Locs. I unfortunately started my Locs journey almost two weeks ago, when sitting in that chair getting Loc’d I told the person doing my hair to start off with two strand twist. I didn’t know about parting space at all. Mind you my hair is a bit damaged and my hair is not thick at all. Long story my parting space is too big and she started interlocking my locks which a lot of my scalp was showing. I didn’t like it so I took it down. I will be starting my own Locs. Make sure that you know exactly what you are looking for when getting Locs for anyone that is starting Locs. Hopefully I love my Locs after I do them.
Hey Crystal! Thanks so much for the love and support. So glad you shared your story here because I know it will be helpful to so many others! Please let me know how your locs turn out when you do them yourself. I’m sure they’ll be exactly what you’re looking for... I believe in you!!! 💗💗💗
My cousin twisted my hair for me and only did 49 locs. It was only after she finished that I realized most people have many more. I found an Instagrammer with gorgeous thick full locs and she only had 43 so I decided to stick with it. They look pretty good so far. I’m 7 months in, they’re locking well, and I don’t see a lot of scalp. To be fair though, I started on 9 years of natural hair so my twists were down my back. I’ve experienced SO much shrinkage in the past 7 months though and now my locs are just past shoulder length
I love the positive vibe that radiates from your channel!!! You're a beautiful lady. I had 82 locs when I started, combined a few along my hairline, now have 76. I found that sectioning first and loosening as l count works better for me.
Awww thanks for tuning in!!! So happy you’re here. It’s funny you mentioned combining your locs because I’m thinking about possibly combining a few of my smaller locs later down the road... but we’ll see! Your way of counting locs is much smarter than my approach! Lol but I definitely had fun making this vid 😊💖
Glad that I found your channel! I have about 79/80 locs with the same texture and density. I just started a week ago and its good to get a general idea of what my locs could possibly look like in the months ahead
Awww, I’m so glad you found my channel and find the information useful!!! Thanks for being here and leaving some love. Congratulations on your new journey! You’re in for an amazing adventure 💗💗💗🥳🥳🥳
When you started counting the back, I said to myself "She's gonna jack this count up!" LOL, but you did so much better than how I assumed this count would go. I can't wait to start my journey. Your hair type is the most similar to mine and I can't tell you how relieved I was when I found your channel.
I found your video very entertaining and I love your positive vibe! I'm a hairstylist and loctician who also does Sisterlocks. Anytime I do an install, especially Sisterlocks, clients want to know how many locs they have. Whether I'm performing maintenance on locs or counting them, I find it easier to work in manageable sections. It makes everything so much easier and faster.
Awww, I’m so happy you enjoyed this video! It sounds like you do some really impressive work with your clients. I love your strategy for counting locs… It would have made this video a lot shorter for sure LOL thanks for being here and leaving some love 💗
Hiiii - thank you for this video! It was fun to watch! I was so desperate for an accurate count I had my husband so it and I got the same count 2 weeks later!
I guessed 94 lol When I first got mine I counted 102. After first retwist I had 96 because she re drew the grid in the front some so they weren’t too small. At that point I decided to not even try to count again (the struggle!) till they’re more mature
Hey, Nina! 94 was such a good guess 😍👏🏾🥳💗 I’m so happy you played along!!!! How long have you been loc’d? When do you think they’ll mature? I probably should’ve waited til then LOL
100. I was close. The best way to know is when you’re doing your initial retwist. I didn’t have to individually count like you did that would drive me crazy. I just got two bags of 50 small duck clips and after I retwisted each twist I put a clip on it. Oh wow and you counted them again and I watched it is what’s crazy lol. I have 75 locs.
Lol!!!! Your strategy is so much better than mine 🤣😂 thanks so much for being here and watching my videos. So happy you are a part of this community!!!!!
Thanks so much for this, love your fullness. Just got my locs and I have around 60ish...thinking I'm gonna restart next month to get around the 80ish range to ensure it looks full because my hair is spongy but also fine! My guess was that you had 100 locs lol
My guess is 62 I was was way off 😂 when l count my locs l have 77 💚 this is my 4th set of locs and this time l wanted thick locs because l didn't want to spent a lot of time on grooming and l think thick locs are beautiful and unique. I'm loving this size 💚
😂🤣 you saw how hard I struggled!!! Lol I definitely wanted to give up but I was too determined. I turned into a little detective real quick 🕵️♀️ LOL but awww thank you so much!!! I go in for my second retwist next week 😍 super excited. Thanks for following along 💗💗💗💗
@@AlexisHarris hahah you definitely have alot more patience than i do.😂🔥 Ouuu!! New retwist you should definitely get some footage of that that'd be amazing!!🔥🔥💫. I also just did a retwist that I had psoted, my hands were killing me😂. But I'm excited to see the length after the new retwist like yes hunny!!🔥😂😂
I just watched your wash and retwist video, Zuvi!!! I literally watched every second like “OMG her hair is GORGEOUS!!!” 😍😍😍 and I was so excited to see we use the same shampoo lol can’t wait til I have your length 🙌🏾💕
I guessed somehweee isn’t he 80s and it turns out I was right. We have exactly the same number of locs!! Your locs look soooo similar to mine so I had to guess the 80s!
I have 212 locs. I started with two strand twists on March 28 then started looking at the micro locs videos. On April 2 I broke down my twists and re twisted. I had 211 locs. I banded every 20 locs together to get the count. 4 weeks in I washed my hair and had enough hair come out of one lox on the front perimeter to start another loc.😳so I did. 212 locs and I definitely have hand-in-hair disease…full blown disease… but I’m working on not re twisting locs every other day. I may combine some in the future depending on how they grow but right now I’m very proud of my DIY micro locs. Enjoying your channel!😘
Thank you so much for being here and leaving some love! I haven’t counted my locs since they matured but I definitely should and you’ve inspired me to do that now. I will keep you all updated! Let me know when you count yours as well 😍😍😍
Whew! I was tired all over again watching you count. It would have been easier to count them if you started with the elastic bands and took each one out of the band to count it instead of trying to hold all your loose locs out of the way lol. I'm two weeks in and I have 113. I think lol
😂🤣 your approach makes sooooo much sense!!! And believe it or not, i used your approach when I first counted my locs off camera. No idea why I chose to count my locs this way this time 🤦🏾♀️ LOL it was exhausting... but congratulations on your lovely 113 locs!!!! 😍🥳
Thanks for being here!!! That’s a wonderful question. I didn’t combine any locs, they just thickened as they matured 😊💖 my parts are pretty big in the back so that allowed my locs to thicken over time!
Hey love! They come down to my collar bone when I stretch them downward. You can watch me pull them down for a length check in this video th-cam.com/video/Qkcd5pH7nwg/w-d-xo.html around the 4:00 minute mark 💗
😍😂 your guess was great!! I’m so happy you played along. Thanks so much for watching my vids and always taking the time to send some light my way, Kauna!!! 🙌🏾💕😊🥳
Hahahaha you are so good! 👏🏾💗 you guessed the same number that my loctician guessed. I’m so impressed!!! Lol I still suck at guessing loc counts but I’m tryna get better 😅😂💕

How did they come out doing them urself

I counted mine yesterday. I have 62 but I will def combine some because my goal is 50s
Love it!!!! 😍😊 Did you start with two strand twists?
@@AlexisHarris yes I did 😊 loving it so far.
Thanks so much for this, love your fullness. Just got my locs and I have around 60ish...thinking I'm gonna restart next month to get around the 80ish range to ensure it looks full because my hair is spongy but also fine! My guess was that you had 100 locs lol

You are so adorable, I've been enjoying watching your videos. Your mom singing in the other video was nice. You two are great together.
Your teeth are perfect 🥺
Awww 😍 thank you beautiful!!!!!
I guessed 80 something. I counted mine today and I have 88. I'm 5 days loc'd. I restarted after 8 months loc'd
We have the exact same number!! It’s funny because I guessed that you had that many ♥️
Awww!!!! Love it 💖💖💖 thanks for leaving some love sis
I have 51 of them...just because i wanted mine a bit big.
Lovely!!!!
My guess is 62
I was was way off 😂 when l count my locs l have 77 💚 this is my 4th set of locs and this time l wanted thick locs because l didn't want to spent a lot of time on grooming and l think thick locs are beautiful and unique. I'm loving this size 💚
😂I would've lost count and given up. Your starter locs are so nice like anytime I see them I'm like "these are so gorgeous"!!🔥
😂🤣 you saw how hard I struggled!!! Lol I definitely wanted to give up but I was too determined. I turned into a little detective real quick 🕵️♀️ LOL but awww thank you so much!!! I go in for my second retwist next week 😍 super excited. Thanks for following along 💗💗💗💗

Awesome!!! I wish! I have 80
You are too cute and I love your videos! I had to susbscribe💖🥰
Awww thanks love!!! Welcome to the faaaammm 💖🥳
Hi Alexis. I'm scheduled to get my LOC S ON Dec.3, 2021. I love your hair style can you tell me what parting method you used?
So happy you’re here!!! I used a brick parting system 💖
Thank you for your response. I'm looking forward to my loc journey! I will use your channel for support to help me along the way.
I guessed 90. I loved the video. I haven’t counted mine yet, 1 year in. Have you counted them now that they’re mature? Because there was 1 unravelling
Thank you so much for being here and leaving some love! I haven’t counted my locs since they matured but I definitely should and you’ve inspired me to do that now. I will keep you all updated! Let me know when you count yours as well 😍😍😍
I also have 81 starter locs ❤
Love the videos
Thanks so much!!
Whew! I was tired all over again watching you count. It would have been easier to count them if you started with the elastic bands and took each one out of the band to count it instead of trying to hold all your loose locs out of the way lol. I'm two weeks in and I have 113. I think lol

I guessed 82 but i can't get passed the fact that you didn't just recount the already sectioned off parts from the first or second count 😭
60 locks, but your locks are gorgeous and so.... Are you.
Awww!!! Thank you soooo much!!! I’m so happy you played along 😍😊🥳 great guess!!!!
Girl, I know it’s real them arms be burning.😆 I was way off.
I’m tryna tell you!!! 😍😂🤣😂
I know this is old...did you combine to get the size you are now today In 2021 or is this just how small they were and they matured that thick?
Thanks for being here!!! That’s a wonderful question. I didn’t combine any locs, they just thickened as they matured 😊💖 my parts are pretty big in the back so that allowed my locs to thicken over time!
@@AlexisHarris o ok I see , thank you ❤
I guessed 84, i was saying 82 at first but changed it
Awww! Excellent guesses!!! Lol thanks so much for playing along 💕👏🏾😊🥳
Lol, well I was close!😂😂
Woot woot! i said 85! I have about 185...
OMG!!!! Great guess 😍🥳 and really?!?! 185?!?!?! I bet they’re BEAUTIFUL... Are they considered sister locs or more of the “traditional” size?
@@AlexisHarris they're small traditional locs. Sisterlocks would be a least twice that amount. I wanted sisterlocks, but I was quoted $1500 🥴
$1500?!?! Yikes!!!! 😩 Yeah, I heard sister locs are expensive to install and maintain, but they’re beautiful lol
@@AlexisHarris yea $1500 and three days to install 😳 😂
Are you on IG? I'd love to follow. I'm sharing my journey on IG @chrystalloveshairnmakeup
